Dropbox video player cannot play MJPEG in avi container. I know it's rare but Google Drive, Yandex disk, VLC player, Xplayer can.

Hey @md22 - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you forward us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting so that we can have a  visual too?

 

Thanks so much!

Hi @md22, I'd need to know some additional things, if you don't mind such as the size of the file. 

 

Also, do you use the website, when trying to preview it, and if so, which browser?

Size of the file is 4,7 Mb. I'm trying view the file in Dropbox user home page. I'm open file by double click. Firefox 124.0.2. In the other clouds I watched the file similarly.
After an error message the loading indicator remains active and the quality indicator changes value every 2 seconds. 720/480/720/480/...
